NO, I would not buy it!:

I will probably treasure it and hang it in my space, if my wife gifts it to me.

This type of art is a mix of multimedia/installation, and I believe you'd make a name for yourself, just keep at it and don't keep your hopes too high at the begining.

Also, go to game repairers shops, Oshodi, Ikeja etc and you'll pack loads of raw materials freely.

Do not frame your installations behind breakable glasses, cement them in liquid glass
